The skin is chronically exposed to both endogenous and environmental pro-oxidants leading to the production of ROS.[] ROS leads to lipid peroxidation, which is considered as the hallmark of oxidative stress in body.[] Malondialdehyde (MDA) is considered as the end product of lipid peroxidation and MDA levels is directly proportional to the oxidative stress.[] The most important antioxidants present in human body include superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase.[] Glutathione which is considered a master antioxidant can help keep the balance between the oxidant and antioxidant system in the body and prove to be an effective therapy but studies proving its efficacy are limited
